In other news, Linux support is coming along nicely and the Closed Beta will most likely start in Q3 2026. Reach out if you are interested!

In the honor of the new year, in the last couple of months I have accumulated 2026 C++ hotreloads, since I began to keep track of it automatically. Thanks, @liveplusplus!

I've been using @liveplusplus for professional and side projects for a few weeks now. Iteration speed, and thus the ability to stay in flow is—I'd dare to say—even good for one's health. #Hellrule (through it's fork of #GodotEngine) will benefit a lot from it!

Amazing to see this in numbers. Now imagine the time saved when used on a typical AAA game.

5 days ago I added a tracker that counts how many times I have hot-reloaded my C++ game code. I am already at 500+ hot-reloads. That is at 100+ per day (varies depending on the kind of coding I do). 100 times 15-30 seconds (to compile, link, launch and get into the same state) is half an hour to an hour a day saved, not even accounting for breaking the metal flow, etc.

We were super-happy to have Stefan from Live++ presenting at our engineering day. It's a fantastic tool, and it was a great presentation with lots of nuggets. Did you for instance know that you can hot-reload while the exception/crash intercept dialog is up? Impressive tech!

Last week, we were invited by Mojang Stockholm to do a talk about Live++ and its use cases. You can download the presentation here: liveplusplus.tech/downloads/… liveplusplus.tech/downloads/… The talk was well received and some of the feedback already made it into the latest update. #cpp

That's a good use case for Live++ hooks, great job!

This thread has inspired me to add ImGui integration for Live++. For years I have watched the system tray icon. But now my main menu bar in ImGui shows me the progress, errors if any, and the number of times I've reloaded. I might even save the total count across sessions!

In the next update, it will be possible to hot-restart on an unhandled exception. This is incredibly useful in situations where code has been deoptimized and a few patches have been applied, especially in startup code, because this will automatically be injected upon restart.

Some build statistics from our "Live++ meets DOOM" experiment to show off the benefits of unity splitting in Live++.

Live++ meets DOOM. Showing DOOM (released in 1993) utilizing Live++ (released in 2018) is a true testament to its completely generic hot-reload abilities, requiring just 3 LOC. Wonder what @ID_AA_Carmack could have done with this back in the days? youtube.com/watch?v=cpDFC9jv… #cpp

The video also shows how far Live++ has come in the last years. Loading the PDB data and building all internal Live++ data structures to run this takes 35ms. The overhead of installing a patch into the running process is tiny compared to compiling even a single translation unit.

Just bought a year of @liveplusplus , and I feel I can't live without it. It's not just about hot-reloading, by shortening the iteration loop, it keeps me focused and less distracted. Hot deoptimize is also a lifesaver for debugging Unreal Engine. Highly recommended!
